This New York City Airbnb listing takes Netflix and Chill very seriously

Three hosts are bringing the meme to life by decking out a West Village 1-bedroom apartment with a Netflix and Chill theme. The room, which costs $400 a night, features a Netflix bedspread, "a fully stacked mini-bar," an HD projector with an AppleTV and Netflix account" and access to the rooftop.

The idea came from Tom Galle, a 31-year-old who works in advertising, Moises Sanabria, a 25-year-old artist, and Alyssa Davis, a 26-year-old engineer at Art404 (a New York-based art company). The room belongs to Sanabria and Davis, who share the apartment with other Art404 members.

The trio posted the listing at around 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday. Since then, they have already booked one guest for the month of February.

"A lot of our work revolves around Internet culture or popular culture. We loved the idea of bringing a meme to life and offer it as a real experience," Tom Galle told Mashable. "The Netflix and Chill meme sort of naturally came up as the right subject to build a project around, and the idea grew automatically from there."

Netflix has not directly reached out, Galle said and the streaming service did not immediately respond to Mashable's request for comment.

The hosts plan on leaving the listing up for at least a few months.

"[Our overall goal] is to make a project that makes a mark and gets seen, and it seems to be going pretty well so far," Galle said. "The money is secondary, it’s mostly to keep it going and offer a quality experience...We’ll see how it goes."
